Re: Grouting Metro Wall Tiles
if you but tiles to close then any movement will put presure on the tiles forcing then off the wall the grout is a cushion between tiles that takes this stress when grouting metro tiles to make it easyer to remove grout i will run the back end of a pencil up and down the joints removing exess grout then wipe clean with sponge leaving a nice smooth joint
